NEW BOOKS......

[cactusjumper]

This from Dr. Glover yesterday:

"As for the books the biggest hassles are setting up a printing company, getting the trademark approved, etc. But the first book should be out -- barring any hassles re: trademark and name -- in the spring or early summer. The second one will follow. How quickly depends on sales fo the first book: Treasure Tales of the Superstitions."

I hope to be the first in line for these two books.

Was there not a <Treasure Tales or Tales of the Superstitions already done by someone in the 60's.
I read a red or orange hardback at the library in Superior.
Will have to check out the AJ one and see if I can read it again.
Is there anyway someone can get or buy one right now in the form of a pdf or just printed version on paper, without all the hardback,ect.

I can't wait! His research is unparalleled.

RR,

"Tales of the Superstitions" by Robert Blair. I was going to suggest it to whoever was asking about books about the LDM.

Blair was good enough at researching his subject that Dr. Glover used him as a source for some of his material.

It's orange......Good memory. I have a signed first edition, hard back, in a slipcase.

You can find plenty of copies (soft and hardcover) here:

Take care,

Wow they aren't asking much for the books...jeez $160+ for the older book is a bit much for me

Badger, they list some considerably cheaper. If all that you want is the information in it, then that is the way to go. Will be a bit stringy, and worn around the edges , like cactus, but still containing the information that you want.

Badger,

Cheapest is $13.50 Just change the "Sort By". The book is worth the price.

Try amazon.com, they are a far better and more reliable option. I get all my used books from them.

These sites list a bunch of books. Some much much closer to the time period and probably not as much fluff.

Most new books , if not all ,will be a rehash of older books, with the most juicy details left out, but plenty of new embellishments.
